<p>I&#39;ve heard that the final battle with Jesus is one of the most difficult boss fights in years</p>

<p>&quot;the first-ever game based on the life of Jesus.&quot;&nbsp; i could be wrong, but isnt this a bit of a stretch?&nbsp; wasnt there at least one other game previous to this that was &#39;based on the life of jesus&#39;?</p>

<p>Wow, a popular game rammed through both the Facebook <em>and</em> Jesus filters? I have to admit that I&#39;m incredibly curious how awful it is.</p>
<p>Has anybody played it who can give a report on its value as a game?</p>

<p>in fact their game features the ultimate demon fighter (sans the actual fighting with demons</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I don&#39;t know, that whole thing with the Gadarene swine might count.</p>
<p>That said, I&#39;d say that I expect this to go the same way as all other halfassed &quot;Christian alternatives&quot; that are too focused on tribalism and not focused enough on actually being enjoyable, but given the number of people who unironically enjoyed Cow Clicker, I&#39;m not sure it would really make a difference.</p>

<p>Provided such a game could make it past the censors. And even then, that&#39;s assuming that religious groups wouldn&#39;t jump on it so bad as to render it unbuyable anywhere.</p>

<p>I doubt any reasonable person thinks all Christians have any/all of these attributes, but the book from which they derive their beliefs endorses each and every one of those behaviours. That&#39;s why there are so many denominations of the religion, because there is no clear message. Ancient man wasn&#39;t very good with plot holes.</p>
<p>But a game based on the Bible and the alleged teachings of Jesus could easily and legitimately have all these things. And, quite frankly, the horrors of the Bible would make for a more terrifying game than anyone behind the Diablo series could come up with on their own.</p>

<p>&quot;You can do amazing things like oppress gays (God hates fags), endorse slavery, make wives submit to their husbands, refuse to heal people based on their ethnicity (no Canaanites!), beat (or kill) unruly children, repress science, subvert (or kill) unbelievers, and offer daughters to be gang-raped!</p>
<p>Diablo might be less grotesque.&quot;</p>

<p>That&#39;s kind of like grouping all gamers together saying that gamers are all fat, smelly geeks who live in their parent&#39;s basement. Just because *some* are that way, does not mean all of them are.</p>
